I’m in love with the highland too, it would be amazing in a striped fabric. Thanks for telling people about the challenge. Suzy xxx

However like you I find the neckline far too wide, thus my neck gets very cold. As I am a newbe to making my own clothes I don’t know how to alter the neckline without affecting my Linden which fits beautifully on the rest of my body. Has anyone any ideas how I may correct the neckline?

I have sewn a couple of clothes (ages ago…) but never had enough time to go on. I don’t have enough time now either, but I’m so willing to have my own clothes (better quality, pattern etc) but somehow I’m gonna find time!

It’s a simple top with darts front and back which enable you to get a good fit (something I find is often missing from free patterns). Over the 5 days following the download you then get 5 ideas to hack the pattern (add a ruffle sleeve, turn it into a cowl neck, add a skirt etc)..It’s a great pattern for someone who has made a few projects and it looking to play with fit/extend a pattern by hacking it.

Love Lisa…. in the UK
